Huston +Request for Comments: 4159 APNIC +BCP: 109 August 2005 +Category: Best Current Practice + + + Deprecation of "ip6.int" + +Status of This Memo + + This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the + Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for + improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2005). + +Abstract + + This document advises of the deprecation of the use of "ip6.int" for + Standards Conformant IPv6 implementations. + +1. IPv6 Standards Action + + In August 2001 the IETF published [RFC3152], which advised that the + use of "ip6.int" as the domain for reverse-mapping of IPv6 addresses + to DNS names was deprecated. The document noted that the use of + "ip6.int" would be phased out in an orderly fashion. + + As of 1 September 2005, the IETF advises the community that the DNS + domain "ip6.int" should no longer be used to perform reverse mapping + of IPv6 addresses to domain names, and that the domain "ip6.arpa" + should be used henceforth, in accordance with the IANA Considerations + described in [RFC3596]. The domain "ip6.int" is deprecated, and its + use in IPv6 implementations that conform to the IPv6 Internet + Standards is discontinued. + + The Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are advised that maintenance + of delegation of entries in "ip6.int" is no longer required as part + of infrastructure services in support of Internet Standards + Conformant IPv6 implementations as of 1 September 2005. The RIRs are + requested to work with their communities to adopt a schedule + regarding the cessation of support of registration services for the + "ip6.int" domain. + + + + + + +Huston Best Current Practice [Page 1] + +RFC 4159 ip6.int August 2005 + + +2. IANA Considerations + + IANA is advised that the "ip6.int" domain for reverse mapping of IPv6 + addresses to domain names is no longer part of Internet Standards + Conformant support of IPv6 as of 1 September 2005. + +3. Security Considerations + + While DNS spoofing of address to name mapping has been exploited in + IPv4, removal of the "ip6.int" zone from the standard IPv6 + specification creates no new threats to the security of the internet. + +4.
